Ulsan Office of Education Operates 'Lower Classroom Temperature by 1.5 Degrees'... 722 Classes Participate

The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education operated the ‘Lower Classroom Temperature by 1.5 Degrees Practice Class’ to enable students to autonomously respond to the climate crisis and practice carbon neutrality in their daily lives.

From April to October, a total of 722 classes participated in the practice classes, including 548 elementary school classes, 65 middle school classes, and 109 high school classes.

‘Lower Classroom Temperature by 1.5 Degrees’ is one of the ecological environment policies of the Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education aimed at preventing the global average temperature from rising more than 1.5℃ above pre-industrial levels.

This project aims for classes to select carbon neutrality practice tasks, carry them out for more than 100 days, and continue these habitual actions in everyday life.

On the 1st, Ulsan Elementary School will operate an experience booth for lowering classroom temperature by 1.5 degrees.

This event is held under the theme ‘Ulsan, Drawing a Sustainable Future: The Meeting of Ecology and Art’ to find practical activities that open a sustainable future for Ulsan.

On the ‘Education Community Open Class Day,’ eight 6th-grade classes will hold various events at the Sarangchae of Ulsan Elementary School.

Students will operate booths such as ‘What Do You Do When You Play?’, ‘The Earth Is Sick’, ‘I Am Green Ecological City Ulsan’, ‘Planting Succulents in Yogurt Containers’, and ‘Where Are the Coffee Grounds?’

They will also guide carbon neutrality practices using board games like ‘TangTang Recycling Special Forces’, ‘Protect the Polar Bears’, and ‘Eco-friendly Halli Galli Zero Hit’, and exhibit installation art works themed ‘Sustainable Future of Ulsan’ to provide visitors with an opportunity to reflect on the importance of the environment.

An official from the Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education said, “This event well reflects the purpose of operating the Lower Classroom Temperature by 1.5 Degrees Practice Class,” and added, “We hope that students will take the lead in expanding the scope of carbon neutrality practices to local communities and homes, continuously practicing to gather great power to save the Earth.”
